You love Jesus… but if you’re honest, your calendar gets more time with you than He does.

If you’re a high-achieving Christian wife and mother leading at work and at home, yet quietly running on fumes, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

On this episode of She Leads Boldly, I sit down with Anita Keagy, author, speaker, and founder of JoyShop Ministries, to talk about what truly changes everything: seeking God first.

We unpack:

  • Why burnout isn’t a time problem — it’s a priority problem
  • Practical ways to read the Bible when you’re overwhelmed
  • How to actually hear God speak through His Word
  • What happens when you meet with God before you meet with the world
  • How seeking Him first realigns your leadership, marriage, and motherhood

Anita shares insights from her 6-week Bible study, The Joy of Seeking God First, available on Right Now Media and YouTube, and reminds us that when you make space for God, He meets you with clarity, joy, and direction.

If you’ve been performing well but feeling spiritually dry…
If you’re leading everyone else but struggling to stay anchored yourself…
If you crave peace without stepping down from your calling…

This conversation will help you return to God’s pace.

And if you’re ready for deeper support, strategy, and Christ-centered mentorship as you navigate leadership, marriage, and motherhood, I invite you to work with me and join my Skool community. Inside, we build sustainable rhythms, strengthen boundaries, and grow in intimacy with Christ — so you can lead boldly without burning out.

You don’t need more hustle.
You need alignment.

Press play — and let’s seek Him first. 🤎
